Our tumbled amethyst rosary is five decades beaded on solid brass. The Rain of Roses cross is a tribute to the little ways of St Theresa of the Child Jesus, and the centerpiece is Romantic Mary. Both pieces are designed and cast right here at WhyteWing. Amethyst is the stone of poets and dreamers, and the birthstone for the month of February. It is said to clear the way for psychic inspiration and guidance, and to set the creative juices flowing. Between each decade is a a hand cut Austrian crystal. This tumbled amethyst rosary measures approximately 23 inches around the loop, with an additional 5 inches for the pendant from the centerpiece to the bottom of the cross. The wire work and chain are solid brass. Bronze and brass will patina over time, revealing highlights with your touch. This process is natural; Use of corrosive solvents or dips is not recommended. **Our fine rosaries are always boxed for shipping.** Please take your time with the photos and consider them part of the description.
